Let's Get Social!

What is GNU social?

GNU social is a continuation of the StatusNet project. It
is social communication software for both public and private
communications. It is widely supported and has a large
userbase. It is already used by
the Free Software
Foundation.

The history of GNU social

GNU social was started in 2010 as a spin-off from the GNU
FM project that was created to power music communities such
as Libre.fm. In 2013, Evan Prodromou kindly donated all of his work on the StatusNet project to the Free Software Foundation, so we merged our existing project with StatusNet and another project called FreeSocial. Evan continues to develop social software for the web with his new Pump.io project. And here we are.

What's next?

Thanks
to Bytemark, GNU
social has a new home in the UK, with resources to open a
series of public GNU social servers for new users, including
private servers dedicated to GNU social development.
